The Story

Richebourg is a king of a wine: the colonnade of the Louvre, the Château of Versailles. You are impressed by its finesse, its length and its delicate sensations, endlessly changing. The fact that no element dominates the others enables you to appreciate all of its aromas, on the nose and on the palate. In any given vintage, Richebourg is always one of the last wines to be drunk. Not because it is too aggressive when young; simply because it needs time to reveal its full complexity.

Wine Information

"We tend to count too much on science, when, before, people gave importance to natural things. One thing is certain, the ancients were not dumb, and if they established a tradition it was because of their experience. They tried to eliminate unfavorable elements and preserve what worked best." -Henri Jayer

Written Notes

Had a tight nose full of alcohol at first. There was some gamy Pinot fruit behind it with soft cherry, dry leather, good earth and a chip or two of semi-sweet chocolate. There was a lot of elegance and style. The palate was citrusy, taut with bright, citrus flavors and a soft finish that still had long acids. White cola emerged in the second go-around, but citrus held its grasp on the flavor profile and made me smack my lips more than once. It was a very good wine for 1987
